Why you should use our digital signage API for your next project

Why you should use our digital signage API for your next project
How it works

Our digital signage API lets users bypass the software’s UI so they can manage their screen programming using their third-party software. Navori Labs’ proprietary API lets you directly control features that end-users access using the software’s UI.

Use our API to connect your digital signs to business databases and software applications and retain full control over the CMS. Use it to automate digital signage processes or build a full-service application on top of QL. Perform repetitive tasks more efficiently and faster than end-users could via the QL user interface.

Developers can use our digital signage API calls to make screens respond to any business need. They can even access features that aren’t visible from the software’s UI.

The QL digital signage API lets you…

  • Turn screens on or off.
  • Add new content to your library without any user interaction. You can even add new templates or update data feeds for fully automated content delivery.
  • Automate QL Player status reporting in real-time. Know which content they are playing and their technical status without any manual intervention.
  • Create periodic content playback reports that include detailed statistics (number of impressions, audience composition with demographic attributes).
  • Automatically create new user accounts and player domains.
  • Trigger predefined content and playlists from third-party software applications or external events.

What advantages do APIs bring to large digital signage network operators?

Digital signage network operators use our API to replace or customize the software’s user interface. They rely on our platform and implement their own customized user interface.

While QL remains a fully-featured professional digital signage software, our API lets anyone develop additional features. Developers can also personalize our software for uses that aren’t currently accessible in the UI. Network operators can respond to new business opportunities confident they won’t lose a project because their software lacks important features.

QL is a general-purpose digital signage software suitable for most commercial and industrial applications. Resellers who focus on specific industries and solutions outside of digital signage can use our API to easily integrate the solution.

Why not write your own CMS software?

There are many reasons why you should use APIs to improve existing solutions rather than writing your own software from scratch.

First, you get a product that has benefited from constant improvements since 1997. QL has published content to millions of screens worldwide with more screens being added every day. It’s a bit like buying an engine from an automotive engineering firm when you’re building a race car.

Next, you will save a lot of time. You can integrate QL with other software and build a professional solution unique to your type of business in hours.

Lastly, QL is highly adaptable. Connect it to third-party software and automate certain processes while end-users rely on QL’s desktop and mobile UIs. It’s also important to note that using the API does not impede any of the software’s standard features. When you use the API, you are simply adding new features to our software.

Is the QL digital signage API compatible with all media player hardware platforms?

One advantage of QL is its compatibility with all types of media player hardware. The same features are available across all hardware platforms:

Which coding languages are compatible with QL’s digital signage API?
